Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What standards does the plugin audit my website against?
The plugin fully audits your content against WCAG 2.1, WCAG 2.2, and Section 508 requirements. It scans your underlying code, posts, pages, and template frameworks to ensure compliance with the precise guidelines recognized by global legal standards.
Q. Can an accessibility plugin guarantee full legal compliance automatically?
No plugin can realistically offer an absolute 100% legal guarantee, because web accessibility fundamentally requires human verification for qualitative elements (such as evaluating if alt text accurately describes a complex diagram). Our tool provides 83 automated compliance checks and 28 instant auto-remediations alongside step-by-step guidance to systematically eliminate the errors that drive the vast majority of demand letters and legal threats.
Q. Does the plugin support white-labeling for digital agencies?
Yes, our Pro licensing supports full agency white-labeling. Marketing firms and web developers can seamlessly drop their own company branding into compliance report dashboards and replace the default widget verification links on public-facing sites with custom brand logos and proprietary website links.
Q. Does scanning cover uploaded files like PDFs or external iframe embeds?
While general scanning plugins overlook non-HTML elements entirely, our Pro engine actively parses untagged PDF documents in your media library to check for missing structures. It also tracks code issues hidden inside embedded iframes (such as external video players or maps) to flag script issues before they compromise your ecosystem.
Q. How does the plugin act as an editorial “gatekeeper”?
Instead of forcing you to continually audit elements after errors go live, the plugin seamlessly integrates directly into the WordPress publishing workflow. It acts as a continuous quality filter, giving you the ability to restrict or block content creation publishing permissions if an editor attempts to post material that fails key automated accessibility requirements.
Q. Will running continuous automated audits slow down my WordPress site performance?
No. The plugin is engineered to run its deep scanning mechanisms entirely on the backend without affecting frontend page load speeds for your visitors. Large database evaluations and recurring background audits are heavily throttled and cached to ensure zero performance degradation even on resource-constrained shared hosting environments.
Q. How do the 28 automated corrections handle custom theme structures?
The plugin’s 28 instant auto-remediations focus on clean, non-destructive programmatic corrections. They address missing image tags, empty document structures, anchor failures, and label properties dynamically. It acts as a safety blanket over your output, executing fixes without modifying or corrupting your core raw theme stylesheets or database layouts.
Q. Does the plugin support legacy editors or is it restricted to modern blocks?
We fully support the ecosystem’s lifecycle variations. The auditing engine works flawlessly across the modern Gutenberg block layout builder, Elementor, Divi, Beaver Builder, and the legacy WordPress Classic Editor, ensuring comprehensive coverage no matter how your content teams build layouts.
Q. How are site administrators notified when an entry drops out of compliance guidelines?
The plugin includes an automation alert routing framework. When structural anomalies or non-compliant actions enter moderation queues, the engine generates an explicit email notification dispatch directly to your designated site administrators. This alert outlines text fragments, character parameters, and excerpt context links for instant diagnostic resolution.
Q. What happens to my site if my premium license expires?
If your Pro license key expires, the Pro plugin and all of its premium features will stop working. Your frontend content layouts, previous custom database entry details, and general operational pages will remain completely un-corrupted. However, to maintain baseline scanning on your website, the basic version of the plugin will need to be installed, and the advanced automated correction features will no longer be present to remediate errors dynamically.
Q. Why is code-level theme scanning superior to front-end overlay scripts?
JavaScript overlays merely place a cosmetic band-aid over your site, attempting to fix issues *after* the page loads. They are highly visible to lawyers, often break screen readers, and do not make your underlying files compliant. Our plugin provides deep code-level enforcement directly inside your theme templates, correcting issues where they originate so you pass official regulatory crawls natively.
Q. Does the plugin support scanning e-commerce platforms like WooCommerce?
Yes. The Pro version comprehensively crawls complex transactional environments. It audits dynamic product galleries, cart modules, tabular pricing outputs, form input descriptions, and checkout gateways, ensuring your digital storefront stays fully available to disabled consumers.
Q. What is the difference between an error and a warning in compliance reporting?
An **Error** is an explicit technical violation of WCAG rules (e.g., a missing alt tag or severe contrast failure) that automated tools can immediately diagnose. A **Warning** indicates an element requires human evaluation (e.g., a link labeled “click here” might be structurally sound but needs manual verification to confirm it offers sufficient contextual description).
Q. How does the plugin handle custom fields and database variations?
Unlike standard remote crawlers that only evaluate compiled front-end code, our engine interfaces seamlessly with the internal WordPress core framework. It audits custom metadata fields, advanced custom fields (ACF variables), and localized table structures, providing deep verification regardless of your database setup.
Q. Can I choose which specific compliance rules to enforce on my site?
Yes. The management control panel offers granular toggle options. If your organization targets a specific baseline—such as strict **WCAG 2.2 AA rules** or a localized variant of Section 508—you can quickly activate or bypass explicit programmatic rules to perfectly mirror your organization’s legal policies.
Q. How often does the automated background crawler scan my existing pages?
You maintain full scheduling authority. Administrators can configure the background evaluation mechanism to run continuous deep scans, daily maintenance pipelines, weekly checks, or manual batched calls. This lets you align audit intervals with your content publishing velocity.
Q. Can I export compliance audits to share with external legal teams?
Yes. The Pro dashboard features a robust logging export interface. Site administrators can instantly assemble comprehensive compliance performance breakdowns and download them as cleanly structured logs, providing documented proof of remediation actions to your corporate legal teams or insurers.
Q. Does the plugin flag issues with structural contrast ratios?
Yes. The script parses your design structure to identify text output layers overlaying background layouts. It flags any element falling beneath the required **4.5:1 ratio for standard text** or **3:1 ratio for larger text elements**, pointing out styling rules that require color adjustments.
Q. Is there a satisfaction guarantee available for new buyers?
Yes, we protect your evaluation period with a comprehensive **30-day satisfaction guarantee**. If you find that the advanced 83 code audits, automated workflows, or white-label reporting dashboard do not fit your exact requirements, you can request a full refund within the first 30 days of acquisition.
